If you’re super impressed by posts seen on LinkedIn, well, you shouldn’t get too excited too quickly because it might not be what it seems.
A new study is shedding light on how most lengthy posts published in English on LinkedIn are actually produced using AI. Yes, the automated system is the brains behind the so-called impressive offerings that might make you skip a heartbeat.
The popular professional networking site has ended up embracing AI to such an extent that you cannot differentiate human tone from AI. Moreover, it’s even giving those with Premium accounts access to the app’s in-house AI offerings.
This gives users the chance to produce, rewrite, and share DMs all using AI tools. So far, it’s working great as more than 54% of all posts in English are made this way. The news comes to us thanks to a new analysis conducted by startup firm Originality AI. However, it is important to note that in our testing we find that Originality AI is not alway accurate when it comes to detecting AIness of an article.
It’s just that this corporate-speak style for writing in AI is a little tricky at first in terms of how to tell the difference between human and AI writing. Yes, that’s how good or genuine the tone is at deceiving readers in an instant.
The analysis gave results after taking more than 87,000 public posts on the platform into consideration. All of the posts were more than 100 words in length and were published between the period 2018 to 2024. During the start, using AI was close to nothing on the app but with time, demand and usage surged to new levels. And a lot of the credit for the phenomenon goes to the launch of ChatGPT.
LinkedIn claims it’s not tracking the number of posts on the page that are produced or edited using AI. However, the company does have the right defense mechanism in place to highlight anything that’s of low quality or content being duplicated.
In such cases, they are taking action to make sure this does not get promoted on a wide scale. As per LinkedIn, AI is a tool that assists in reviewing drafts or beating blank page issues. However, for the app, the main thing is the original idea or tone of the creator that needs to be highlighted in the post or message.
